I have two of the 8.5x25x44 mueller scopes, one is on my savage 17hmr and the other is on my remington 788 222. I havnt used them real hard yet, but have shot 10 or so groundhogs with both of them and love the mill dot for the 17hmr, but I would like a target dot for the 222, and wish they would offer the target dot reticle in the 8.5x25 tactical without having to step up to the illuminated eradicator, I also had great customer service from mueller.
ps. i plan on replacing my tasco 6x24 and bsa 6x24 scopes with the muellers in the future.
